Tough game with threadbare squad. I would maybe play as follows.
Ross
Banks Cooper baines Jones
Osbourne Wilson
Newby CCC Kosylo
Amaluzor
Hope Osbourne is fit to play or Roscoe will come in and maybe go wing backs with 3 at back.
-
I'd go with that if Isaac is out.
This really is a must win or we can forget the play offs until next year.
-
Maybe tempted to give Mooney a start & see if it gives Newby a kick up the arse. Whilst Marriotts serious looking injury on Saturday a big blow if it gives young George Wilson a chance to kick on no bad thing. I like him as a player & his attitude so give him a taste between now & the end of the season.
It’s two sides in pretty desperate form albeit York are in a far more desperate position than us so another one about a month ago I’d have said we’d win comfortably but who knows now.
-
No idea on the team. I hope Justin can play a bigger part than he did on Saturday.
We are York's bogey team so anything can happen
-
Go with the original post.
Wonder when we will find out about Marriott…
Would be recalling Donawa. Only him and Amulazor have the pace to get us up the pitch.
-
Given the weather forecast for rain most of today are there any plans for a late pitch inspection ?
-
I wouldn't normally say this, but perhaps the lads could do with a postponement to properly re-group.
-
What's the deal with Dan Mooney?
Unused substitute last couple of games... surely if we're dead on our feet you play one of the fresher lads?
Given that Alex Newby's form hasn't been great, I'd also bring Dan in on the right wing - Kossy on the left.
-
It worked well for the first half in Hartlepool
-
Nice to see us do it the right way around and not needing to chase the game.
Looked much better going forward and CCC did a decent job as a fake 9.
Whole team were excellent. Osborne ,Wilson, Newby and E Jones really stood out.
Just got to keep starting our best available 11 and formation.
Well done lads.
-
I see, according to twitter, the York chairman is going to reimburse their fans entrance money!

on the other hand.......
😁 I know what you meant.

Tremendous night’s entertainment. Got an early lead & never looked back. Having Justin in makes a huge difference & Newby & Kosylo roasted their defence in the first half. That’s got to be the front 4 set up now of choice if Linney is out. The second goal which was a fine counter attack finished off by Justin my pick of the goals but Mooney’s set up & CCC driven finish for the 5th also worth highlighting.
But York though, wow. They were atrocious. Their poor keeper blundered horrendously for our opener and the 4th goal (arguably the two crucial goals of the night) & Newby made him look silly for the 6th. The worst side I’ve seen us play this season by a long way. Real shame as it’s one of the better & more local days out but they are doomed.

I do come up with some right guff on here sometimes - in fairness at the time it looked like the weather in the lead up to the game was going to be atrocious.
York are just the tonic, aren't they? We all felt we paid them too much respect at their place, and based on that showing I'll be staggered if they don't go down.
Hopefully they've played a few of our lads into a bit of form, and I'm glad Parky took the decision to hook Matty because going down to ten again would have been an absolute disaster for our energy levels.
Any news on Max Haygarth... have we signed him as a free agent? I've got him on Football Manager, he's class.
-
Just what the doctor ordered. A fast start against woeful opposition.
Well done to one and all.
Found a home for Byrne aa well
-
That was very enjoyable. We need to keep our feet on the ground though. They were woeful.
Good for the goal difference though ans it may come down to that in the end.
-
When we move it about quickly we score goals. Much better than the slow paced matches we have seen recently.
Excellent effort tonight. Wilson was my MoM he will be crucial for the run in.
-
Very impressed with George Wilson - I did think he was being introduced to the fold too soon - and we can't ignore the fact that York would probably make most midfielders look like Modric in his prime - however the game could only have done wonders for him and a few other lads.
-
We can only beat what is in front of you. we looked fresher so moved the ball more quickly. was impressed with Wilson, growing up quickly in this league. Amaluzor was hungry and good to see Eddie much improved. All in all much improved. There keeper had a mare, but if don't shoot you don't score.. Hopefully confidence is higher going into a tough game at Borehamwood on Saturday.
-
After Saturdays sub standard effort we were hoping for fireworks last night - and how ! Sparkling performance to rocket us back into the play off zone . The lads were fired up and bang on it from the off and lit the blue touchpaper early doors, fairly lighting up the murky skies with their crackling display .As six bangers exploded into the York net we were treated to a striking exhibition leaving us all glowing once more. Simply spectacular.
-
A sparkling performance

It's been 42 years since we beat York City in the FA Cup to earn the right to one of our finest hours in the the next round, knocking out then top-flight Birmingham City. We've not come a long way since then in terms of our progress up the pyramid - indeed we could be argued to have dropped back just a touch - but back then beating the Minstermen was very much a "giant killing". Looking at the current state of affairs at York one rather has to feel sorry for them. Next season they look nailed on to be routinely playing the likes of Rushall Olympic and Radcliffe, and when you consider that they'll be sharing that "privilege" with other ex League clubs like Chester, Southport, Darlington, Boston and the reformed Hereford and Scarborough....yes, we HAVE progressed.
-
A couple of questions:
- how come Lewis Baines was the captain last night, instead of Elliott Osborne who had worn it previously?
- secondly, where were the fans? Such a shame so many stayed away and missed last night's goalfest.

Lewis is more vocal than most. Probably that’s the reason.
Reason for fall off of fans is likely down to the Woking effort.
-
Baines gets a good view of whats happening and shouts orders. Osborne gets on with the execution.
The fans were there. Come the Oldham game the Prawn sandwich brigade will turn up.

It was York in the 4th round after we beat Birmingham in the 3rd round. 2nd round was Blackpool wasn’t it?

Yes, 4th round was York away. Lost 2 or 3 nil I think?

Yes, 2-0.
We did beat York 42 years ago, though, but then we lost 6-1 to Burnley in the next round.

Totally agree… Baines reads the game well and is always talking. Puts himself on the line with his determination and calmness when needed. Future full captain???
As for the crowds, are you forgetting where we were just a few years ago??? Short memories
-
I think the 6-1 victory will help immensly to bring the crowds back, follow up with an away win or at least a draw with BoringWood and then crowds will be back for Gateshead. I just want us to be in any playoff position now, even if it has to be 7th place. We are capable of a decent final position. After some of our recent results, we have found we can lose fans as easy as we can gain them, the club are acting on it.
-
We've had over 2,000 for Maidenhead, Dorking and Woking. Two of those matches had United at home on the same day and the other was a Tuesday night. Those are tremendous attendances all things considered and I've no doubt the Oldham crowd will be huge. Very short memories indeed...

I agree entirely about York who are just one of the 'bigger' clubs to drop out of the FL . When they beat us in 86 they drew with Liverpool before losing in extra time at Anfield to that seasons double winners ! The shape of the game has changed dramatically over the 40 odd years you mention and we have been overtaken by so many who were always regarded as 'smaller' clubs . Who would have thought back then that the likes of Harrogate , Salford , Forest Green , Stevenage , Crawley , Morecambe , Sutton etc etc would be in the League . With all the ups and downs that have gone on there are currently 18 teams in League 2 who have at some stage played in the National/Conf . Amazing.

There's a YouTube video with a York fan's perspective on the game, along with some very good video highlights of the game. It gives a different perspective on the goals scored at the Chequers end. Stick around to watch his comments after the highlights, he makes some interesting remarks about the J. Davidson Stadium:

Does anyone know if the pitch invader was dealt with appropiatelý following the York game ?
By appropriately, I mean detained and handed over to the police and not just chucked out with 5 mins of the game remaining.
The consequences of not dealing with matters (now we are attracting a small number of idiots) is more idiots and eventually sanctions for the club.

Ethan Ross' reactions are interesting - especially to our 4th goal. Think he felt the keeper's pain ;D
Looks like the York fans still have a lot of respect for him as well, judging by the chat they had with him at the end. No doubt they were asking if he fancied coming back
